The governance structure of public broadcasters is the hottest topic in domestic media policy. This study examines the flow of discussions by period by synthesizing the research literature on the governance structure of domestic public broadcasting since 2000. As a result, active discussion on the governance structure of public broadcasting was confirmed to have appeared following the conservative governments after 2008, derived from the "crisis theory of public broadcasting." In addition, the discussion was conducted centered on the public values of public broadcasting and direction of system improvement, political independence of public broadcasting, composition of the board of directors, and presidential election system. This study suggested that future discussions on the governance structure of public broadcasting should expand the existing discussion of political independence to encompass the values, responsibilities, and systems of public broadcasting that presuppose citizen participation.

This study aims at the evaluation of procedural changes and policy outcome caused by the Open Method of Coordination(OMC) on Social Inclusion in the European Union. The policy instruments of the OMC introduced by the Lisbon Council can be divided into two groups: the outcome-oriented New Public Management(NPM) and the process-oriented Directly Deliberative Polyarchy(DDP). By considering the adoption process of the NPM instruments, it can be said that OMC could not be effective due to the vagueness of its objectives, the institutional barriers in decentralized decision-making, and the rejection of benchmarking by the Member States. The intended learning by deliberation and peer review as indicated by the normative DDP, is hard to achieve because they are not so reflexive due to relatively restricted and closed participation. We also cannot find any significant reduction of poverty after the long implementation of the OMC. Considering the higher recognition of poverty problem and expanding NGOs concerned with it, however, we may see some significant impact in the future.

Several tensions are visible in contemporary Dutch society, including those around refugees and sexual diversity, and the place of (strict) religion in society has changed. From both a theoretical and empirical perspective, we examine what this means for Christian education in general and for teachers in conservative Protestant schools in particular when it comes to citizenship education. It is concluded that the role of the school board and management is important in supporting teachers and promoting a shared vision within the school. In thinking about Christian citizenship education, a focus on Christian attitudes instead of morals has become more important, as it is in religious education.

For sustainable development of air transport, the establishment and application of international standards of environmental protection area is significant. The development and use of alternative fire extinguishing agent to Halon, which is used for the fire extinguishing systems of engine nacelles/APU and cargo compartments, has been requested in order to protect the ozone layer. The ICAO has been active in preparing international standards and recommended practices (SARPs); however, certification of alternative fire extinguishing agents has been postponed due to technical readiness problem.. Consequently, the implementation of SARPs has also been postponed by two years from the end of 2016. to the end of 2018. As such consequences have caused confusion among Member States regarding its implementation, it is necessary to discuss and pay more attention to this issue. ICAO Council and Air Navigation Commission should consider between setting the implementation time frame earlier or giving enough time for mature readiness and preparedness. Also in order to minimize the unnecessary discharge of Halon owned by Member States, it is necessary to consider efficient management methodologies; for example, requesting fire extinguisher manufacturers to recharge in professional ways. For the successful implementation of the SARPs, ICAO developed an implementation task list as including notification of differences, establishment of a national implementation plan, drafting of the modification to the national regulations and means of compliance, adoption of the national regulations and means of compliance. Member States can develop their own rule making process in reference with the ICAO implementation task list. This issue was presented and discussed during the 54th Conference of Directors General of civil aviation, Asia and Pacific Regions which was held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in 2017 with significant attention among participated Contacting States. In this regards, ICAO Council and Air Navigation Commission should consult with Legal Bureau lawyers regarding SARPs preparing process to eliminate difficulties and confusions for proper implementation within effective date.

Based on the theory of media governance, we analyzed the factors affecting the KBS system and the perception of the improvement of corporate governance, and suggested ways to improve the governance structure. The results of the study are as follows. First, the factors affecting the KBS system are politics, followed by the public broadcasting itself, that is, professionalism. Political factors were found to be the most influential factors in the public broadcasting KBS Institution. Second, the KBS governance structure, like the BBC, preferred a political independent model, while the board composition and proportions favored a German-style union model involving various stakeholders outside the political circle. Third, the future - oriented KBS governance model requires a change in the civil society (public) sphere that is deviated from the influence of politics and market. In the end, in order for the public broadcasting KBS system to operate stably, the political influence should be reduced, and the role of the government and the market should be controlled by the growth of the public sphere (civil society).

We made a regression analysis on the early IPO of venture capital investments in Korean IPO market. First, we found that it was likely to shorten the period to IPO in companies which were fast growing with a good operating cash flow, but these companies had a higher possibility of the earning management. Second, companies with more assets and larger size of the board of directors did not take companies public any earlier. Third, a better corporate governance also had no impact on the time period to IPO in the newly public firms. The findings above clearly show that venture-backed companies in Korea pursue the tendency of an early IPO. This phenomenon was much clearer when the companies were invested in by multiple venture capital firms than by a single investor. In general, venture capital firms invest in companies which are fast growing and which have a good operating cash flow. On the other side, venture capitals make investee companies go public earlier by manipulating operating earnings, so that they themselves may exit early. In conclusion, this research has shown that venture capitals in Korea do not play a positive role in the corporate transparency. This is the paradox of venture capital investment and this also shows the current status of Korean venture capital firms.

2017년 겨울, 기록적인 한파로 인해 바다가 얼면서 인천 앞바다로 유빙이 유입되었다. 2013년 해상에서 유빙이 발견된 이후 약 5년만에 다시 유빙이 등장한 것이다. 중부청 소속 항공단 순찰결과에 따르면, 2018년 1월 12일 인천대교 인근 해상에서 최초로 발견된 이후 강화 연안, 영종도 북단 등 해상에서 광범위하고 불규칙한 형태로 유빙이 분포되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 유빙의 문제점은 해상에서 선박의 안전운항을 저해하고 경비함정의 안전에 지장을 초래하며 기름 유출 시, 유출유의 거동 특성이 달라져 일반적인 방제방법의 적용이 곤란한 점이다. 이에 따라 해상에서의 해양오염사고 대응방안 마련을 위해 저온 및 유빙 유입 해상에서 유출유의 거동 특성을 알아보았다. 구분인자를 극한의 추위(Extreme Cold), 유빙(Pack Ice), 정착빙(Fast Ice) 3가지로 분류하여 기름의 성상변화 및 시사점을 살펴보고, 유출된 기름의 효율적 방제를 크게 3가지로 분류(기계적 봉쇄 및 회수, 화학적 분산제의 사용, 현장소각)하였다. 일반적인 방제장비를 저온 및 얼음분포 해상에서 사용 시 슬러시화 된 얼음으로 인해 유출유 회수가 어렵고, 동결온도에서 장비가 오작동할 우려가 있다. 이미 북유럽 국가에서는 극한의 추위와 얼음분포 해상에 특화된 방제장비를 도입하여 해양오염대비 대응을 하고 있다. 2003년 3월 발틱해에서 불법적으로 유출한 선저폐수를 특화 장비는 brush bucket 유회수기 이용 방제조치한 사례가 있으며, 2006년 5월 같은 장소에서 선박 침몰로 인한 기름 유출이 발생했을때도 brush bucket 유회수기 이용 방제조치를 하였다. 국내에도 이상 기후로 인해 기록적인 한파가 지속되면서 북극에서나 볼 법한 유빙들이 발견되고, 해양오염사고는 언제 어디서나 발생할 수 있으므로, 해양오염방제의 임무를 맡고 있는 국가기관으로써 특수한 환경까지도 고려하여 대응방안을 마련할 필요가 있다. 해양오염이 재난으로 인식되고 있는 상황에서, 그리고 지구온난화로 인한 이상기후변화가 지속되는 상황에서 겨울철 유빙 유입은 점점 더 많아질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 자료나 방제경험이 부족하므로 일찌감치 북극항로 개발로 앞선 방제기술과 경험을 가지고 있는 북극이사회를 벤치마킹하여 관할 해역 특성에 맞는 대응방안을 고찰해 본다.

In the process of managing organization, the strategic decision-making and corporate performance are not independent, but they are interdependent each other. In most Korean firms, decision-making power and authority are concentrated on the higher echelons of managerial hierarchies. Examining big five trading conglomerates in Korea, this present paper investigates the relationship between strategic decision-making and a corporate performance. Although a number of review studies on Korean management have been developed over the years, there have been less works designed with decision making in mind. In order to achieve research objectives, this paper predicted some hypotheses, and the major findings include: 1) the influence of Korea's long-standing Confucian tradition and culture dominated across organizations, there have not been significant changes in decision-making process within big five trading firms; 2) top executives' excessive involvement in decision-making process does not hinder corporate performance. This result implies that the decision power is still tended to be centralized in the hands of the top management. 3) However, the power of Board of Directors in decision-making has become increasingly important; and 4) decision makers do not tend to misuse or abuse their political position and power for their own interests.
